Green woodworking Vintage Plumb Side Axe

The sap is down and the days are short so it must be greenwood time! For sale is this vintage side axe. The head is a kentish pattern and is currently handled for right-hand use. It can be rehandled for left-hand use as the head is symmetrical front to back.

It has very much been a working tool since I've owned it and has been ground and sharpened accordingly. Ive used it for dressing hewn logs. Its also good for green woodworking applications and has a comfortable weight to it. I suspect it was originally designed as a barrel makers (coopers) tool.
